    To my knowledge, there is only one Landon Follett Van Wagoner in the world, but what's in a name? I suppose that my upbringing isn't far off the norm for a BYU student. I grew up in Bountiful Utah and was blessed to be raised in a family that is active in the church, where my siblings and I learned the foundational lessons of faith. I am presently serving a mission in Melbourne Australia, and I will be attending Brigham Young University this fall.…

    Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education has always been extraordinarily important to me, and for this reason, I believe I am qualified to receive this scholarship. Even from a young age, I took it upon myself to strive for the best, participating in spelling bees since the fourth grade, maintaining a 4.0 grade point average throughout middle school, and immersing myself entirely in academics during my high school career. Throughout school, I had two predominant goals that I continuously strived for: to graduate with a 4.0 grade point average and to be accepted into the college of my dreams. I accomplished both, becoming a senior scholar in my graduating class…

    Growing up in poverty meant always being in a pinch for money. This led me to my decision of seeking a job within the first month of my freshman year in high school. Thankfully, this decision led me to the precious self-taught skill of time management. I was able to build my skills until my sophomore year. I tried to take on additional shifts at work than I could handle, in aspiration of saving up for a car, and consequently my grades began to slip. I acquired my first C in my favorite class: Chemistry. Being an aspiring student in the medical field, and a student who prides themselves on their grades, I was devastated. As a result, I soon reached the epiphany that one has to have priorities in life; I chose mine to be education. I discussed with my boss my situation and she gave me a set schedule of a feasible 4 shifts a week. This allowed me to complete my homework and studying in advance. This also…

    I do really need this scholarship to help my parents in supporting my education in the United States which consumes a lot of money. Both of my parents were working very hard to support us ever since the monetary crisis that struck Indonesia in 1998 and all I can say is that only by God’s grace and miracle we can still survive. Although my dad had entered the retirement age now, he is still trying his best to support my studies. Hence, this scholarship would be beneficial for my family’s current financial especially after that crisis that affected my dad’s previous business, which permanently closed…

    I didn’t realize it at the time but, I joined color guard to have a family. I wanted to be a part of something, belong somewhere. Growing up I never had a close relationship with anyone in my family except my mother who passed away when I was twelve years old. So a few years later when an older friend who was in guard told me “All the girls in guard are like my sisters, I love them and hate them all. We’re like a family.” I was immediately intrigued. I didn’t understand yet that I was looking for something to fill what was missing in my life. I was also desperate for somewhere to go after school, anywhere but home. The next week I went with her to practice; I was so nervous being terribly uncoordinated and awkward. However, I made friends quickly and really enjoyed spinning. I gained so many things that day. I got a whole support group of people to cheer me up when I’m down, upperclassmen to help me with homework and to show me that high school isn’t as scary as the movies make it seem, and friends for life that have my back better than anyone else I’ve ever known. Deciding to join that day was the best choice I’ve made so far.…
